PRIVATE_KEY

The secret part of an asymmetric cryptography key pair. Used for signing, decryption, or authentication, depending on the algorithm. Must never be published, sent to a repository, or stored in plain text.

Why it matters

It's the key to the kingdom: whoever has the private key can sign, decrypt, and log in as the owner. All asymmetric cryptography relies on the fact that it never leaves the owner's control.

What's missing without it

A leaked private key invalidates all security: an attacker can impersonate you — the only remedy is immediate key pair rotation.

When it is used

In SSH, digital signatures, encryption, and tokens; stored with permissions 600, never in a repository.

How we use it

An SSH private key enables secure access for CI/CD automation to the deployment server.
